Just happened to pop in since they are next to my look funn source. Apparently they have just opened. Very nice woman greeted me and was very polite. Thanked me for checking by the place out. They have LIVE crab, top shell, and geoduck. And it was a nice set up. Good aeration and water movement between tanks. (Was a aquarium nerd, maybe still am...). Interestingly, along with fish balls and other stuff in their freezer wall, the last unit caught my eye and they have hot pot fixins. Now that 88palpal is down for a while, I needed a place to grab thin sliced pork belly and brisket. It's all here! Good luck to these go getters. The food should appeal to many locals.

One of my fondest childhood memories is going to Tamashiro Market with my dad…read more When we lived in Kalihi, this was our usual spot. And even after we moved, we would still drive out just to come here for the seafood. That's how special it was to us. The reason why he chose Tamashiro over other grocery stores was simple--it was quality and because of my Nanay (grandma). His mom purchased from here and made so many delicious dishes. He knew what to look for, and he trusted this place. For him, it wasn't just about buying food... it was about getting the best for his family. My dad isn't the type to say "I love you." He shows it. One of the biggest ways he showed love was through his cooking. Even after a long day on his feet cooking for others, he would come home and cook for us. That was his way of taking care of us. I loved coming here with him. It was a five-senses overload--the smell of fresh seafood, the sound of people talking story, the colors of fish on display. Back then when you were allowed to sample a grape or poke to make sure it was good before buying. But more than that, it was time with him. I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw the pink building with the huge crab. I thought back then was to look at everything but now I understand that it meant something more..... something special--time with my dad. It's with a sad heart that Tamishiro Market is now closed. Thank you, Tamashiro, for providing quality food and memories for so many years. You were more than a market--you were part of my childhood

Goodbye to another Hawaii landmark! Tamashiro Market is closing its doors on April 30, 2026…read more FPO and I went the Sunday before for one last tour of the legendary fish market. It looked the same as it did the first time I went with my grandfather. I picked up a couple pounds of dry aku for my favorite sister and some tee shirts as memorabilia. It was pretty busy and I expect that will continue until They close. Still, the people were nice and very helpful. I'm really going to miss it!

So I'm so glad to have found another... until yelpers give this place a lot of business as well. Just checked out their Yelp reviews and noted they cook their great seafood to order in the attached food court - winner!!!! As for the poke, which I did get this time, they let me sample the California, Hawaiian, spicy ahi, and another one which I actually bought but forgot the name. It looks similar to spicy ahi without the super spice. All the poke was super fresh and tasty. The guys working the counter was super nice and they're cutting the fish fresh. It's a great addition to the Blue Market fresh seafood stalls in the Maunakea market. Im going for the fresh steamed fish next time!

We went to Maunakea Market the other day to get Maguro Bros poke bowl. Blue Seafood is next to the…read morepoke place and I saw several folks eating a whole cooked fish! Some steamed, some deep fried. It looked so good we had to come back another day. Spoke with the gentleman running the counter and he told us to go to the adjacent seafood monger (same company) and pick your fish. They have all kinds to pick from including shrimp, clams and oysters. Some fish are better suited for steaming versus deep frying. For the most part deep fried fish is delicious but most fish deep fried will lose its fresh taste. The monger said the Onaga fish will have a firm texture when steamed. Once you pick the fish they take it back to the kitchen to prepare it. Pricing is based on the fish per pound and then they add on $10-$20 for the preparation. We ordered a 1.8 lb Onaga fish whole "long tailed red snapper" Steamed... I'm telling you it was fantastic! fresh and flavorful. Got a bowl of white rice as well... dang it was good! The seating area is narrow but a vibrant scene. Was packed and lots of folks ordering from the various other food vendors in the space. Give them a try!

I have fond memories of dinner time while growing up in the heart of Chinatown. My father and…read morepaternal grandmother would shop for groceries on a regular basis in Chinatown as they would check out what's in season and/or what looks good. Many times, they would come home with a whole fresh fish and cook it for dinner. The preferred way of cooking a whole fish is by steaming it and dress it up with julienne green onions and fresh ginger, Chinese parsley with soy sauce and some sesame oil. Last week a group of us celebrated the birthday of 2 February babies at Lagoon Chinese Restaurant near the airport. We have dined there many times and often order their steamed fish fillets where the chefs execute this dish excellently. However, we were celebrating a special occasion, so I wanted to get a whole fresh fish and have the chef prepare it for us. I arrived in Chinatown shortly after 7am and was on the hunt for fresh fish. I was saddened to have witnessed so many empty stalls in Chinatown and found myself coming across just a few places that had fresh fish, one of them being Troy Enterprises (TE). Troy Enterprises started in business around the mid-70's and I do have recollection of my father coming here for whole fish as often I tagged along with him. They are located deep in the C Q Yee Hop Building with neighbors of Lee's Bakery and the New Hong Kong Supermarket. As I grew older and inherited culinary skills by my father and then refined by watching a chef from Hong Kong cook when I helped at my buddy's family restaurant in Chinatown, I learned how to prepare steamed fish. I've cooked whole fish a lot where I prepared it for my family. It's been YEARS since I last purchased a whole fish and TE is still at the same stall location but immediately noticed very few staff working. To be exact, just 2 people, perhaps a husband-and-wife team. Previously, there were easily over 6 staff with a lot of people hovering over the fresh fish checking out to see which one would be best on their dinner table. TE is quite spacious and well organized and clean. I was pleased the area didn't smell fishy when it had a lot of seafood displayed in the area. I was the only customer at that time, so I had free range of checking out their inventory in leisure. I did want a whole fish to be steamed Chinese style, so I was looking for a snapper or UHU (parrot fish). There were just 2 UHU but they weren't appealing to me, so I started to look at their snapper inventory. The male staff showed me a beautiful ONAGA (long tail red snapper) but it was quite large. The dinner was for 9 people, and we usually order an array of dishes and worried that the fish would be too big. I then glanced around and came across a beautiful OPAKAPAKA (pink/crimson snapper) that was slightly smaller than the ONAGA. As a rule of thumb, you check the eyes of the fish to ensure its freshness and after it passed the test, my decision was made. I asked the staff to have it cleaned (gutted and scaled) for me and the female staff rung me up. The OPAKAPAKA was about 2.92 lbs at $18.95/lb and the staff was kind enough to round it down for an even $55. She was kind enough to also include a small bag of ice placed with the fish for me to carry back to my car. I took my prized fish to my part-time job where my colleagues eyed on it and constantly joked with me during my shift. Many kitchen staff commented on how they should prepare it and have it for that day's employee meal. Hahaha.... I brought the fish to me to Lagoon's later that afternoon where I asked the staff to prepare it steamed, Chinese style of green onions, ginger and soy sauce. I ended up ordering 10 dishes that day with the steamed whole fish making it 11 courses. The fish was the las thing to arrive on the table and regardless we didn't have much room left in our stomachs, our table to 9 whacked the OPAKAPAKA with very minimal leftovers. One of our friends surprised us by picking up the tab so I am unaware of what the kitchen fee was to prepare this monster fish. The OPAKAPAKA was indeed fresh and prepared so well that it was worth waking up early and shopping in Chinatown that Saturday morning. Overall, a great reunion of TE where I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. As part of due diligence, it's always great practice to shop around but I'll be sure to stop by TE to see what they have on hand. My OPAKAPAKA may have costed pretty pennies, but the money was well spent. I am already looking forward to coming back to TE to get a whole fish and have Lagoon's prepare it for my family as they love steamed fish, as well as picking up some fresh seabass to make Chinese style sashimi that my father often made for us.

I've been marketing for fresh fish at Troy Enterprise in Chinatown as I've always found them to…read morebring in fresh daily catches. They have a good selection of locally caught fish, provide quick service (they'll efficiently clean, gut, bone or fillet your purchase) and are reasonably priced. CASH IS KING so make sure you bring your "ke kālā" (money). Recently, when we were invited to a family potluck dinner, our nephew specifically asked me to prepare a Chinese-style steamed whole fish. So, I went out to Troy Enterprise at its opening hour (7:00AM) just so that I could assure myself and family of a fish worthy of the occasion. My husband and I arrived at 7AM sharp and found their door was already open and a crowd had gathered in front of the fresh catches. I paced the displays to see which type and size of fish would be best for steaming. My Chinese family has always relied on kūmū (goatfish), opakapaka (pink snapper) or uku (gray snapper). I didn't see any kūmū but my eyes zeroed in on the opakapaka. As I donned a pair of disposable gloves to select my fish, I "eyeball estimated" a 2 - 3 pound fish. I picked an opakapaka then handed it to one of the workers who weighed it (2.52 pounds) as I told him I wanted the fish cleaned. He told me how much my fish cost, we paid him and he gave me a claim number. The worker took my fish over to the cleaning station and we waited for our fish. While we waited, another fishmonger cleared an area in the display and dumped in a batch of kūmū(goatfish). There were other Chinese shoppers who swooped in for the kūmū . I started to wish that I had waited a few minutes before selecting my fish. But, just then, my claim number was called and I collected my fish. We left happy with our pink snapper and thought to ourselves, ah, next time. We'll be back!

I love coming to this Foodland! If I lived here, I'd be here at least two or three times a week or…read moremaybe more. I did come here some mornings and have a small breakfast. They also have my favorite Mexican sodas, Jarritos! But what I really love is the wine bar in the back of the store! I came here twice because there was a really good brute rose that we liked. It was also really cool when Jin, one of the bartenders, recognized me from the last time I was here. He also remembered Janey when we had brunch and he took care of us. They also have some great food to order, but no dessert. Also, you cannot eat food purchased from Foodland at the bar. It's just store policy so no argue! They also seem to have a number of regulars that frequent which is cool. Looking forward to coming back! Mahalo Foodland and Jin!

This Foodland location has a lot of different fresh food options such as salad bar, hot food bar,…read morefresh pizza, poke, fried chicken, sandwiches, bentos, sushi, and baked goods. I made my own salad at the salad bar. I was craving a Chinese chicken salad and all the ingredients were there. I love this option because I can put as little or as much as I want of each ingredient and also control how much dressing is added. My salad was delicious. However, this one time that I went, the wonton strips were not crunchy. They were stale, all of them. I kept eating them, thinking each one might have been a one off. I think whoever was in charge of the salad bar may not have put out fresh wonton strips that day and used the ones from the previous day. Otherwise, my salad was wonderful. They have a dining area where you can sit and eat your food with high and low seating. There's no restroom. Overall, I like this location and the food variety. But I took off one star for the stale won ton strips.

I've always loved Yama's because they typically have chicken laualau when so many other places…read moredon't offer that option. The other cool thing about this place is they often have a ton of local goodies for sale as well. Cookies, candies, some refrigerated treats as well. But the real star here is their poke and I've recently fallen in LOVE with their sea asparagus option. It's pricey, but they use fresh and it's pretty good quality fish too. I've needed a new place since Tamashiro's closed, and while this is a bit out of my way, it's absolutely worth it!! They have a small lot in front with 7 spots, plus 1 accessible spot on the side. It can get pretty busy at peak times, but it's otherwise pretty reasonable. Staff are polite, friendly, and know their menu pretty well. You can also call in advance to confirm they have something, or to request something if needed, but best to call at off peak hours otherwise they may be too swamped to answer. If you like Hawaiian food, quality poke, or just want to support local, Yama's is a great place to try!

I ordered the Laulau, beef stew combination and a somen salad for hubby…read more Nice people, easy 10 minute wait, but honestly, the stew was inedible and so disappointing. The beef pieces had a ton of fat and the pieces were little tiny squares smaller than a piece of poke. The veggies were overcooked and mushy and the celery was stringy. I had to throw it away. In comparison to Young's Fish Market Beef Stew, Yama's was a real let down. The laulau was undercooked and yet the pork was dry, so out it went as well. I think I will stick with Young's Fish Market for both of those things as they do it perfectly with tender lau laus and moist proteins perfectly seasoned on the inside.
